Jack voiced Sokka in Avatar the Last Airbender. In 2016 we united to create this channel, confusingly titled “Chris & Jack”, which has served as a shared platform to write, produce, direct, edit, and star in our own stuff. We're releasing comedic sketches of all shapes and sizes the first and third Friday of every month. Sci-Fi, Heists, animation, movie tropes, absurdist bits, and plenty of fun new experiments. But above all else, friendship.

There's this one room that's just a giant safe with all my passwords in it so that I could keep them protected from mind-readers but once I accidentally left my safe password inside the safe and I was too embarrassed to call the safe installers so I just changed all my passwords to the number to the safe installers which is printed on the back of the safe, only to realize that was the password to my safe in the first place, but when I opened the safe I realized I left some food in there the last time and it got expired and smelly and moldy so I just closed the safe before I could get the passwords to change it back, so now I just hope none of the websites I use get their data leaked or I'm screwed.

There are a lot of characters he could fit: Agent Sparxx of In English Please, Agent 17 of Save the Watermelon/Mind Wipe, the chief in One More Thing or maybe the one guy in Moments Between the Montage. He's credited as "detective" in the description, so that leads me to believe he can't be one of the Agents.

I've done thorough research on mnemonic methods, including the method of loci, which is commonly called the "mind palace" technique. It's incredibly powerful. Of course, after trying it myself and using my palace for everything, I can say that this is pretty much how it goes after a while. No assistant named Shannon, though. And the fire department is grossly underfunded.

As someone who tried learning the mind palace technique in high school, this is surprisingly close to what actually happens. I can remember that DNA is strings of proteins that determine both what you look like and what your kids might look like, and everything else is stuck under piles of confusing and useless nonsense. So, just like every other organizational filer I’ve ever used, just in my brain this time lol.

Your guys' comedic style and timing is incredible. You set up the premise so effectively. You build up the stakes and get us all giggling inside at the premise, and maybe even guessing what the jokes gonna be... then WHAM, subversion of expectations. You take that subversive idea, give it a minute to develop and sink in, and then WHAM - a subversion of that last subversion. You're construct whacky amd fun worlds one brick at a time. I feel like the nod to inception in your gofundme video was like a kind of meta reflection on your style. My 2cents 😁 Ps. Great job on the Dr. Kleiner impression. Absolutely impeccable 🤌.
